TO EXERCISE
What is Exercise?
What is Exercise?
Exercise is the training of
the body to improve its
function and enhance its
fitness.
HISTORICAL VIEW OF EXERCISE
HISTORICAL VIEW OF EXERCISE
Pre-Historic Period
Hominids—human beings and their
immediate ancestors—have existed on
Earth for at least two million years. For
more than 99 percent of that time,
hominids lived a nomadic existence
and survived by hunting and gathering
food.
HISTORICAL VIEW OF EXERCISE
Agricultural Period
As civilization developed, nomadic
hunting and gathering societies gave
way to agricultural ones in which
people grew their own food and
domesticated animals.
HISTORICAL VIEW OF EXERCISE
Industrial Period
The industrial period began during
the mid-18th century. In the cities
relatively more individuals walked to
work, climbed stairs, and had more
physically demanding jobs than do
most people today.
HISTORICAL VIEW OF EXERCISE
Technologial Period
The post-World War II period, a period
characterized by rapid growth in energy-
saving devices, both in the home and at the
workplace. Jogging, racket sports, cycling,
and other active recreational pursuits have
become much more common. In a sense
this is simply humankind’s returning to the
more active lifestyle of its distant ancestors.

to develop through natural
total-body activities, primarily on
the play level, the physically,
mentally, and socially integrated

SAMPLE FITT PROGRAM
PHASES OF EXERCISE
Warm-up Preparing your body for the activity
of the conditioning part of your workout.
Conditioning (or the activity/exercise itself) It
is
when you perform the exercise that
produces fitness benefits: calorie burning,
building endurance, or muscle
strengthening.
Cooldown Cool down is bringing the body
back to its relaxed state gradually from a
2 TYPES OF STRETCHING
Dynamic stretching is a strategy used to
improve mobility while moving through a
range-of- motion, often in a manner that
looks like the activity or sport that is going
to be performed.

Static stretching is holding a stretch


without movement, usually only at the
end-range of a muscle.
MYTHS AND FACTS ABOUT EXERCISE
1. Stretching Before a Workout
While this myth is partially rooted in truth,
it’s the type of stretching you want to pay
attention to when it comes to injury
prevention.

It’s recommended to warm up through light


cardio and “dynamic” stretches related to
the activity you’re about to do, so your
muscles are prepared.
MYTHS AND FACTS ABOUT EXERCISE
2. Longer Workouts Are More Meaningful
Working out harder doesn’t always mean you’re working
out smarter. Spending hours on the treadmill or lifting
weights can cause muscle strain or an overuse injury. This
also doesn’t factor in poor form or insufficient equipment,
which could lead to injury before you reach your goal.
As an alternative, break up your routine between cardio,
mobility and resistance exercises for variety and to work
on all muscle groups equally.
MYTHS AND FACTS ABOUT EXERCISE
3. Eat More Protein, Exclude Fat and Carbs
Diets that zero in one protein while reducing
carbohydrates and fats are not as effective as you
may think. While you don’t want to primarily
consume refined carbohydrates and saturated
fats, protein is not a solution for everything – nor a
promise for weight loss. In fact, consuming excess
amounts of protein can increase your risk for heart
disease and obesity.
MYTHS AND FACTS ABOUT EXERCISE
4. No Pain, No Gain
Pain and soreness should not be used to
measure whether you’ve had an effective
workout. On one hand, it can indicate
delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). On
the other, it could be a sign your muscle
tissue has torn. Workouts with repeat
movements can actually worsen the tear,
resulting in a more serious injury with time.
MYTHS AND FACTS ABOUT EXERCISE
5. More Sweat Equals a Better Workout
Although sweat will likely drip during an intense
workout, other factors need to be considered – for
instance, the conditions in which you’re exercising.
Sweat occurs in an effort to regulate your body’s
core temperature. While it does indicate your body
is burning more calories, this process will
eventually stop and continuing to push may lead
to fatigue.
MYTHS AND FACTS ABOUT EXERCISE
7. Detoxing to Lose Weight
Over the years, this fitness myth has fueled many
juice cleanses. While intermittent fasting has
recently received greater attention, removing solid
foods from your diet can affect your metabolism
long term. Especially as you’re working out with
specific fitness goals in mind, this can slow down
your metabolism, causing your weight to plateau
and your body to hold on to fat.
